Peru // Andes to Amazon Conservation Programme

FZS started working in Peru in 1969 and supported projects on various threatened species over the next decades. In 1990 a detailed study of Giant Otter ecology began in Manu National Park and this evolved into the integrated park protection program in 2002. Since 2005 the number of protected areas has continually increased. Today, more than 6 million hectars are under protection in Peru. Among others, FZS is working in Manu National Park, Alto Purus National Park and Madre de Dios Territorial Reserve.

FZS works in close collaboration with the Peruvian national protected area authority (SERNANP) supporting them in their work to protect these amazing areas.http://www.peru.fzs.org
